This vintage circa 1915 Colonial home preserves the charm and character of its earlier era, with 21st century renovations made in all the right places. A summer rocking chair porch spans the front of the home to greet the visitor. The entry foyer sets the tone with hardwood floors and crown moldings, complete with two guest closets and wide entries that introduce an inviting living room with oversized bay windows and formal dining room with original custom corner china cabinet. The family room is warm and welcoming, set beneath high ceilings, with painted paneled walls and built-in bookcases, and enjoys picture-windowed views of the deep fenced rear yard. A two-car detached garage is located at the end of the drive. At the heart of the home is a fully renovated kitchen (2013) that is country-style chic, anchored on distinctive checkerboard heated tile floors. A blend of softly colored cabinetry is set against honed granite countertops, with herringbone patterned Carrera marble backsplash and quality stainless steel appliances that Bertazzoni 6-burner range and a microwave confection oven. A center island houses an under mount wine fridge for added enjoyment. A beamed ceiling spans a breakfast room that is surrounded on three sides by property views, with access to a bluestone patio nicely framed with stone knee walls. Banquette seating in the room is ideal for informal repasts, while custom built-in cubbies offer added convenience. Radiant heated floors enhance the totally renovated powder room (2013), located nearby. Four bright second-floor bedrooms feature windows on two sides that provide added light, each with hardwood floors and most with reach-in closets. A full hall bath with tub shower serves them. An unexpected delight is a fifth, privately set master bedroom that resides on the third floor. Light-filled and spacious, high ceilings and three skylights with casement windows illuminate the room below, poised on gleaming hardwood floors--creating the perfect quiet respite after a long day! Situated within walking distance to Memorial Field and Brayton Elementary School, there is lots to love about this turnkey home.
